"... With the Internet and the influx of so much music, I think people judge so quickly. People are very careless to get music."
Where am I to get to you?
I'm in Las Vegas.
What is happening?
We do a show.
I heard the recording of this album has been fragmented, with New Songs members that their contributions separately. You'll feel like you think of this way of working?
Well, I think it's a little 'misunderstood. We have to spend quite a lot 'of time writing the album together and work on design ideas and things back and forth. I think people focus on the fact that Julian was not there for much of the recording. But this was only for the time he was not there. was a different process that we had to adapt.
This is the first time, that others besides Julian contributed to writing?
I think, is yes, the first time significantly. There are Breakup Songs other things New Songs here and there. But this is the first situation extremely cooperative.
How does it work? Someone has to bring in a demo, and add other elements to it? Or did you really put the songs together in common?
We always had a collaborative way of billboard top 100 songs working on parts Julians. Long ago, has always had to carry melodies and guitar parts, and we would have built around them. We have in this format. Everyone has a different process. Someone could bring a small part or lead to a real demonstration of a part or an entire song. During the time of writing, as we were all together, is that if we can choose what works and what does not.
There are songs on the album that sound with the use of electronic drum machines and stuff like that. These were originally played with the full band in a rock vein?
There's a song that was pretty electronic so that a rock song is taken. And then little by little, became what he became. It 's like a long process. Things are changing. Things disappear and reappear. Cut them and take from it. It 'just a very long process. There's never a point where someone says: "We do a song or an electronic rock song." Over time, with the feeling of the album, other songs, and how it all works together, is slow, what it is.
